Question

In conducting triaxial test to determine shear strengths for soil samples, what consolidation pressures should be specified?


Answer

It appears that the selection of consolidation pressure is independent of in-situ soil stress theoretically. However, this may not be correct because the actual shear strength envelopes for soils are non-linear over a wide range of stresses. Therefore, consolidation pressure corresponding to the range of stresses relevant to site condition should be adopted.
